FATE, it seems, has decreed that Sher. if r. O. Shaw shall not live to serve hls term of office. This we as Republicans. ss sine rely regret as does any one of bis same political faith. Shaw made s good officer and was popular with the people. as was evidenced by the last election when political ines were disre- gar3e2 and he was elected by 8 hand some majority. Shaw was sn old timer m Arizona and has borne his full share Of the rough usage that befslls the pionee. whose occupation lies without the outskirts of 8 town, In sll the vary ing fortunes of frontier life, Sheriff shaw was ever considered a full hand" Than this DO greater compliment can be be- stowel, for in Arizona, he must needs be 8 good man to fill the measure.

HOW TO PROSPER.

Tho Glass II Farmers Who Arc sueeessfal
and, In Consequence, C0utented.
The prosperous farmer, like every
other business man. is he who takes
advantages IF circumstances to get the
most he honestly can out of what he has
to sell. Not all business men follow
the golden rule to do unto others what
would be desired Of them. Not all
farmers do this. yet the golden rule is
best in the long run. Why? A mans
probity in dealing not only insurcs re-
spect, but enables him to get better
prices than he who does not strictly re-
gard his word.
The man honorable i'm his dealings
may be man rs keen in his bargains
or in getting prices rs he who does not
strictly regard his worl. He is more
apt to figure closely in personal ex-
penses, while at the same time being
liberal in all things. He is apt to feed
closely and at the same time fully. He
saves by attending closely to the COM
fort Of his stock. No depreciation is
allowed to take place in buildings and
sheds. His farm machines. wagons and
implements never suffer from undue
contact with the weather. Every thing
has place, and all labor is performed
at the proper time. He does not under
take work out of season, but in season
he drives his work; it never drives him.
He hires only the best help, treats his
workmen courtcously, and hence always
gets the bcst-and keeps it. His work
men may advise. but never dictste to
him.
When a crop is ready for the market
It is promptly sold il the price suits. II
not, it is held until the price is satisfac-
tory. A crop. however, or animals.
are not held for speculative prices. He

COWS OR SHEEP.

distressing Re0aras IN the Comparative
PROFIT Hade from Then.
A subscriber asks for our opinion upon
the question of the comparative profit
to bic made from cows or sheep upon
land worth forty dollars an acre and
with butter at twenty cents a pound;
lambs ut three dollars each, and wool
thirty cents per pound. This is qucs-
ton Of much intfrest because of tho
prevailing desire among 50 many farm
ers who have been keeping cows to
change to sheep and those who have
been keeping sheep to change to cows.
Having been keeping cows for butter
making and sheep for yearly lambs and
and wool for many years we will simply
give the results of our own experience
rather than an opinion. and ut the OUT
set VIC would say that inclination has
tended rather to shcep-kceping than to
the dairy. but there are SO many draw
backs to the keeping Of sheep. the great
est being the losses and worry from
dogs, that, as matter of convenience.
the cows are far preferable to the
flock. The losses we can sum up that
have been caused by dogs in spite Of
every care and precaution. saving tho
killing of every dog that could be found
trespassing on our field-a most UNI
pleasant and unpopular thing to be done
have SO far reduced the profits from
our sheep at least fifty per cent. and in
one instance caused the total abandon
ment of shcep-keeping and our removal
from desirable locality otherwise. And
at the present time we can count up u
loss of twenty-five per cent. of thrifty
flock during the past year from ravagcs
Of dogs. This, however, is due to tho
proximity Of village where every
worthless person keeps one or two IT
these wild beasts, and will not be consid-
cred rs necessary burden on the pursuit
Of shecp-kecping. One cow can be kept
under ordinary circumstances and with
good management on pasture in the
summer. with some help from green
fodder crops, and on roots and dry feed
in the winter, upon three acres. With
100 acres then we can count upon keep
ing thirty cows. A fairly good native
or half-brccd Jersey cow well fed will
yield 200 pounds Of butter yearly. raise
a calf and furnish skinned milk to
make 100 pounds Of pork. All this
would amount to fifty dollars Is the year
ly income, equal to 81 500 for the whole
herd. ,
Nine sheep can be kept per one cow;
that is three sheep to the acre, with
pasture in the summer and roots and
dry fodder in the winter. In addition
forty acres of the 100 may be put in
grain, wheat and oats: the corn grown
will be used for the winter feeding If
the sheep. The 800 sheep should at least
produce 200 lambs. and four pounds Of
wool per fleece. This will make up tho
following:

to let it's wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can nse it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty
of all Druggists to recommend 1t
to the poor, dying consumptive, at
least to try one bottle, as 10000
dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine as the

4 GOOD OMEN.

Terrible indeed was the fate which
meuaced the passengers and crew ofthe
wrecked ship Hildd.
Lila Drente, an orphan maiden,with
her widowed aunt, had taken passage
upon the Hilda for America, and her
pretty face and winning ways had won
a warm place for her in all hearts
She had brought on board a white
carrier pigeon, which had futtered
hclplessly down at her feet the year be-
fore manned by a shot from some I'M
skillful sportsman.
A billet had been fastened under its
wing, but its contents We've in a tongue
unfamiliar to those who pelused it, and
il would have been thrown carelessly
away had it not been saved by Lila.
She had nmsed the bird back to
health. and although eventually mean
ing to again put the billet in its place,
under its pinion, and send it forth into
the realms of space, she had not yet
schooled herself into parting with it.
Au indugcnt relative had procured
for Lila delicate chain of silver, so
that she could fasten it about one Slen-
der lee, and thus keep the bird "a par
tial prisoner.
Lila's courage and fortitude had
been the one bright spot on board dur
inc the terrible hours of suspense which
followed the fury of the storm which
had wrecked the Stauuch ship.
No mtrmu came from her lips, and
